Features

Off-hours code migrations – Schedule migrations of code during off hours, without manual or user intervention.

Third-party version control support – Archive and migrate objects from SVN, CVS and PVCS.

Custom reports – Gain more flexibility with customized reports that include unique requirements, such as global parameters definitions, additional fields from the SQL query, layout and style preferences, plus much more.

Pre- and post-migration steps on distributed environments – Determine and complete both post- and pre-migration steps on distributed databases from the window that comes up after a migration.

Pre- and post-migration steps on mass migrations – Quickly complete the steps directly from the mass migration wizard, instead of being forced to open each CSR.

Customized migration order – Determine the migration order in the mass migration wizard for automatic CSR moves.

Automated patching – Reduce the risk of manual errors, and enable developers and DBAs to concentrate on more critical activities by automating and enforcing pre-determined and optimized change management processes.

Impact analysis – Experience a simpler testing process with an analysis that delivers a full report of the changes that impact a specific instance. Understand the influence that object modification and patches have on other objects as changes move through the system.

Version control and roll back – Archive any combination of objects/files in each version as you capture an unlimited amount of interim application versions or “snapshots.” Experience selective retrieval and rollback by object/file.

Workflow for project and process management – Control a variety of activities (through the Stat client for the web or for Windows) from a central location. Monitor all issues, automate team processes, organize tasks by project, assign status requirements and deliver automated approval authorization.

Regulatory compliance management – Lock out and audit unauthorized application changes to ensure compliance. Enforce change policies by workflow, role-based security rights and audits of any changes to the underlying business logic. Get compliance-related reports that help you achieve compliance objectives.

Support for PeopleSoft Unicode databases – Support the locking, archiving and migration of all PeopleSoft Unicode data.

Specifications

Stat Environment

DBMS

Oracle: 9i version 9.0.1 and higher (see note), 10g version 10.1.0.2 and higher, 11g, and 12c (Unicode and non-Unicode support for all Oracle DBMS). Oracle client must be 32-bit.

Note: Oracle E-Business is only supported on an Oracle Stat database. Also, 9i databases are no longer supported by Oracle. Some features may not function as expected.

Note: If you are running Stat on Microsoft SQL Server and your PeopleTools environment is 8.48 or higher, Stat must be on at least MSS 2005, regardless of the PeopleTools platform. Also, If PeopleSoft is configured for Unicode operation, the Stat database must be as well.

Minimum requirements

Development database: 4 GB available disk
Production database: 20 GB available disk (size can grow dramatically)

Oracle developer object comparison is an optional feature with its own requirements. To enable object compare support for Oracle developer objects, a compatible version of Oracle Developer and the Forms Applet Jar Files component of the Oracle Forms product must be installed. Additional requirements are needed for the following:

To enable object compare support for Oracle developer objects in patches, the Oracle JVM and the file stat_db.jar must be installed.

To enable object compare support for form library files that have attached libraries, the FORMS60_PATH environment variable must be set to reference a staging directory (FORMS PATH for FORMS 10).

FTP, SSH servers

Requirements

Must be NT, Unix, MVS or Netware compatible; SSH2 must use standard format listing; OpenSSH (UNIX and Windows), SSH Communications Corp. (UNIX and Windows), bitwise WinSSHD, and wodSSHServer are supported. VanDyke VShell 2.1 is NOT supported.
The configuration of your SSH server determines which ciphers are used when connecting to the Stat Server. The Stat Server currently supports the following cipher and MAC configurations:
Ciphers:
